[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I clicked on this thread after going through a couple of pages of the "do you think your husband will divorce you SAHMs?"  The divorce statistic was cited a couple of times-  first as the generally misunderstood 50% of marriages end in divorce, then later multiple times by those who cited more specific statistics.That is, marrying later, college educated, etc etc the divorce rate in some circles is much more like 20%.

So, then I read this thread, and here's what I'll say, bluntly:
- you are young, and married young
- you have not finished college, and you are not healthy
- your divorce possibilities are higher than average based on those two facts alone.  
- so a "friend" after too many drinks tells you your MIL doesn't like you because you are fat and underemployed.  
- in-law issues are a contributor to divorces.

Meanwhile:
- you and MIL have a polite relationship and you had no idea she might not like you
- you have no context other than drunken blurting for your MIL's supposed dislike.

Here's my advice:
Live your life.  Ignore this info from your supposed friend.  Focus on your life, your marriage, your health, your education.  Keep your priorities straight and your focus on remaining in a healthy marriage and all the rest of it is just noise that doesn't matter.

If you focus on the negative, you will lose.  [/quote]

Excellent analysis, PP.  OP should focus on things she can change, not MIL who may or may not have made alleged statements.  Maybe ditch the drunken friend, too.[/quote]
